In one of the trailers Mads says something like «it’s so hard to form connections when you can’t shake hands» - maybe touching another person is dangerous in some way

You and whose knees?

The fact that those little bunker things have cargo elevators that go down made me wonder whether these cities are all underground to hide from the Timefall. Which is a neat way to not have to render them in the game world

It's possible everyone is unstuck in time, and can't actually interact directly with one another, all existing in the meta equivalent of separate servers/copies of the same broken timeline.

I think it’s just an isolation thing, everyone is shut up in their private bunkers because they’re afraid to go outside.

The hazmat guys look pretty clumsy when they're swinging at Sam in the trailer. I wonder if this is an unintended effect of the animation (or to reflect the suits they are wearing), or is it because Sam is invisible to them and they're just flailing at where they think he is? They're wearing the same detector arms that he uses to detect the ghosts.

So, Deadman appeared to be a hologram, and Geoff Keighley's character is also a hologram.

It could be they're just tele-casting in, but the way Geoff's character talks in the gameplay video... and the fact that you're transporting eggs and sperm to the cities...

like, why would they need eggs and sperm? Supplies to survive makes sense, but why can't they just mate with each other in the city? Unless there's some kind of Children of Men thing going on where women can't get prengant...

I'm guessing that the plot is most people are like AI simulations of people who used to exist? And most of the "cities" are just servers with the souls / AI recordings of people's brains?

And the plot of the game is trying to reboot humanity by using stores of eggs and sperm to build cities of living people?

Is Norman Reedus the last man alive?

I had autotranslate on and I believe it said that while the cities still keep mostly to themselves, genetic diversity is always welcome.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
i just like that the game is basically gonna be this but with packages of jizz, piss mechanics, sovereign citizens dressed as the CDC monsters from monsters inc and death ghosts and baby that can detect them. also ghost babies that bit tits.

yea I dig the 'unstuck in time' kinda theories but I think it's gonna be that humanity is mostly all holed up in bunkers and communicating through holograms and all

You're most vulnerable peeing/pooping, so relegating the act of making GBS threads to a safe space in-game makes sense. I get it now. Kojima is a genius.

It's been mentioned that Sam has a "Chiral Allergy", which I'm guessing means he can't be around people or he hurts them in some way. Thus the holograms and hazmat suits.

This is legit a good song. I've heard it like all of 1 time during the TGS demo, and already its wormed its way into my head, and I found myself humming it today, so I had to track it down and listen to it again.

that's troy baker's character.

norman reedus said the game is about his character being afraid to be touched and overcoming that.

This game is about connections and linking people together. Everyone we've seen is a hologram. I drew a different conclusion to other people: everyone is in a parallel world so Sam is really alone. The connections he's establishing are to link all of the separated people together from all of the worlds.

But I must have missed something from the trailers. Also what I said doesn't make sense when it comes to the enemies. They're all there and real in Sam's world. But the stuff with the ladders being left from other players does support my theory.

This is a cool idea, except in the one trailer where the guy gets pinned under the truck, they are making physical contact, and in the other trailer Sam is carrying Mama on his back.

I actually like that this game doesn't seem to be designed around just going from place to place and shooting at enemy outposts like every other open world game. Whether or not Koj can make just walking around entertaining remains to be seen but he's got a good enough track record and I've been wanting to see an open world game that doesn't totally revolve around combat for a good long while. To my knowledge it isn't even something that has been attempted yet.

Yep, that song was is pretty awesome, and that trailer had a really impressive athmosphere thanks to it. Kojima knows how to pick good songs. Without him, I'd never have heard "Here's to you" (which was used in a MGS5 trailer) and would never have found out that Morricone was giving concerts in europe at that time. It was a very, very awesome evening!

There's more focus on walking and less on shooting but its very much the same game style.

Yeah I think lucid Kojima is more interesting than a theoretical high Kojima. He can barely keep a story held together as it is, if he was constantly tripping it would just be purely incoherent
